Got an HID? (Hull ID Number)<br /><br />It would be on the upper transom on the starboard side.

Post a pic, or Email me one at EDIT. (Email addy will disappear in 12 hours)<br /><br />I've had seven BWs and I have every catalog from 1964 to 2003.<br /><br />The HID would be a big help, too.

I finally got my WinZip working and looked at it, John.<br /><br />I don't think it is a Boston Whaler. It doesn't match any of the models in my CD catalogs.<br /><br />It does look like a very well built boat and has several Bob Dougherty touches in the design.<br /><br />It could be an Everglades, which Dougherty designed.

Thanks very much for all your help JB. Sorry I didn't get back to you re your e-mail, didn't have a chance to check my inbox till you'd sorted it out. Had a look at Everglades web site and it outlined Bob Dougherty & sons career. It seems the dates don't tally as everglades didn't start till 94. But if you say it doesn't match any of the earlier whalers it's good enough for me. Was considering buying the hull as a project but without an ID i am not so keen. Thanks again.

Hey JB as the resident Boston Whaler buff you might get a kick out of this. BW's were built for many years a few miles from my home (Rockland, MA). It's now a Home Depot. I was talking to a long time resident the other day and he said he can still smell the polyester
